i have a 2600lb late model stock camaro front clip jig rear multileaf suspensionthese are my springs1200LF 900RF194LR 166RRwith this setup car rotates around the lf spring which is good for hard corner entry and braking

but i need to tighten it up just a little when i initially hit the brakes as it wants to dewedge the car on entry

please advise what you ya"ll do to tighten up car on initial braking?????

posted May 17, 2000 11:01 AM The springs you have on the left front in relation to the RF are too heavy. The Left front spring is holding the load under braking and it actually unloading the cross in the car. Their is too much difference in the split of the two, looks to me like your getting a lot of roll in the car in the turns too(depending on the rear setup). But, I would recommend either coming down on the left front spring or going up on the RF. It will help the car.

Hope this helps.

posted May 17, 2000 04:41 PM Most of the time, your right front spring is heavier than your left front. The way your car is setting up, the left front is carrying more weight on entry. The heavier springs on the inside of the car will help it transfer weight and set in the corner really well, but then you wont have much speed coming out, and it will be somewhat loose. If you put a slightly heavier spring on the RF than the LF then the wedge will carry the entry and your car will be faster off of the turns also. This will enable you to tune better. The way it is, it looks to me that the car would be leaning pretty bad.

Might I suggest going even lighter on your front springs? We are actually running 900 lf and 800 rf. Car working very good with about 2.5 - 3" of shock travel. Warrior car with Ford stub. Just a thought.
